Abstract
The most abundant and widely used renewable energy source is solar energy. A solar panel is a cell that converts the sun's UV radiation into electric energy. In the past decade, the usage of solar panels has increased dramatically, with uses in both commercial and industrial settings. In large-scale solar energy conversion systems, more solar panels are used. Solar panels are often placed on the rooftops of buildings or on the exteriors of structures. Additional dust particles are generated as a consequence of air pollution and direct contact with the outdoors. The throughput and yield of electric energy production are easily affected by these dust particles. Large-scale companies should clean their solar panels on a regular basis. Cleaning each panel is a labor-intensive and time-consuming process. To overcome the aforementioned limitation, the proposed approach is contemporary. It builds a remote-control robot that we can operate with our phones. An Arduino-based autonomous robot is connected to mobile phones using Bluetooth technology. It will be more compact, allowing time and labor to be saved. For large-scale solar panel systems, it is very efficient.
